There has been a recent campaign to get some ghost bikes redone in London by members of my forum. Our safety on the roads has been on my mind a lot recently; fuelled by Mel's coller bone accident, the death of the girlfriend of a forum member and by nearly witnessing a fellow cyclist being crushed. London is awash with HGVs', all careering towards the Olympic site and along our narrow streets, often seeming to not know where they are going . For me ghost bikes are some positive out of tragedy . If the site of them catches just one drivers' breath and make him consider his actions more then all cyclists safety will benefit in the future.
